NOW SCHEDULING FOR YOUR ANNUAL HEATING MAINTENANCE

Maintaining your air conditioner (AC) unit involves regular inspections to ensure optimal performance and prevent costly breakdowns. Here’s a breakdown of what a proper inspection should include, categorized into two sections: what you can do yourself (DIY), and what’s best left to the professionals at Premier AC & Heating.

DIY Maintenance Inspection:

These tasks can be done routinely throughout the season to keep your AC unit running smoothly.

Air Filter Check and Replacement: Inspect your air filter monthly and replace it when dirty or clogged. A clean filter ensures proper airflow and improves efficiency.

Thermostat Check: Test your thermostat to ensure it’s programmed correctly and maintains the desired temperature.

Supply and Return Vent Cleaning: Visually inspect supply registers and return vents for blockages like furniture or dust buildup. Clean them as needed to maintain proper airflow.

Condenser Unit Cleaning (Outdoor Unit): Turn off the power to the unit before cleaning. Remove leaves, twigs, and debris from the condenser coil fins using a soft brush or hose (gentle spray). Avoid bending the delicate fins. Trim back any foliage around the unit to maintain proper airflow (at least 2-3 feet clearance).

Premier AC & Heating’s Professional Maintenance Inspection (Annually Recommended):

A yearly professional inspection by a certified HVAC technician from Premier AC & Heating is crucial for comprehensive AC unit health. Here’s what their experts typically perform:

Electrical Components Inspection: The technician will visually inspect electrical components, wiring, and connections for damage or corrosion. They may also tighten loose connections.

Safety Controls Check: They will test safety controls like limit switches to ensure they function properly to prevent overheating or other malfunctions.

Drain Line Cleaning: The technician will clean and flush the condensate drain line to prevent clogs and moisture buildup.

Refrigerant Level Check: They will check the refrigerant level for leaks or improper charge, which can affect cooling efficiency. Adding or removing refrigerant (if needed) should only be done by a licensed professional.

Coil Cleaning: In some cases, the technician might recommend professional cleaning of the evaporator coil (indoor unit) for better heat absorption.

System Performance Test: The technician may run the AC unit to assess its performance, airflow, and temperature output.

Recommendations and Report: Premier AC & Heating will provide a detailed report outlining the inspection findings, recommendations for maintenance or repairs, and any potential issues to address.

Additional Notes:

  • It’s recommended to schedule your professional AC maintenance inspection with Premier AC & Heating before the peak cooling season (usually spring) to ensure your unit is ready for summer.
  • If you notice any warning signs like reduced cooling capacity, strange noises, leaks, or unusual odors, it’s best to call Premier AC & Heating for immediate inspection and repairs to avoid further problems.
  • By following these guidelines and maintaining a regular inspection routine, you can ensure your AC unit operates efficiently, keeps your home cool and comfortable, and avoids unexpected breakdowns. With Premier AC & Heating’s expertise, you can have peace of mind knowing your AC unit is in top condition.
